I just started Dungeon Crawler Carl. In it he fights a Spanish speaking boss. The Spanish is not translated (so far) and if you can read it, it really changes the mood and impact of the entire scene.

Are there any other books that hide significant plot points behind the use of foreign language?

Yeah that is what makes the games so fucked up, they couldn't settle for xenocide, they had torture the people they killed for the rest of eternity 'I have no mouth and I must scream' style.

The viewers don't even get to see most of that.
